Severus also put other things on Harry's plate. When he looked at him questioningly, he meant only:
"You have to pay attention to your diet. Always well balanced or Poppy beheads you. "
"Hm, if you say so. But no roast, vegetables and potatoes. Thank you,
hagrid, can you please hand me the salad. Thank you."
For a while there was peace. But suddenly all Harry saw was stars. An incredible flash of lightning had started.
in a matter of seconds, all the teachers, and Harry too, had drawn their wands and aimed them at the supposed attackers. Those were just cameras.
As the rest of the teachers and Harry put their sticks back in, Severus stood up slowly.
with a look that made even the bloody baron swallow, he waved his wand in a nonverbal slogan.
Nothing happened first. Then, however, the apparatus changed into the hands of the students. In:
"Squirrel?"
Harry looked at his husband confused.
"Not quite," came the growled answer.
Severus continued to stare at the responsible students.
The squirrels, meanwhile, tried to free themselves from their "owners" with bites. They let them go screaming.
The rodents squeaked loudly, squealing. one of the animals fled to Flora. She picked it up and called out in surprise.
"That has fangs. Is it a vampire squirrel? "
Immediately all attention was focused on Severus.
"No, Ms. Seehope, they're squirrels."
"Oh, may I keep it?"
"You have to ask her tutor."
She saw the hopeful look of her student and nodded benevolently.
In the meantime, Argus Filch had risen and opened the door to the dentulous rodents.
"Mrs. Norris, would you please take the little ones outside? "
the cat did as it was called. And amazingly, the animals also followed the old cat.
"That was my camera! Do you know how expensive he was? "
"I do not really care, Mr. Hopper. So and now for all. the next, who photographs my husband without permission, will pick up his punishment not with me but with the twins. "
Severus pointed to Fred and George. The students became noticeably pale, everyone knew what these two were capable of.
they also set up a diabolic grin.
"One more thing, if there are still students who think they can impose themselves on my husband, they'll get in trouble with me. Because then I have no choice but to feel VERY offended, and even Harry will not fare otherwise. "
Next, the Potions Master did not have to talk. Everyone knew what that meant.
if a husband or wife felt offended in this way, they had the right to challenge the offender to a duel. However, since Harry was still a minor, this task would also come his man.
in other words, if Harry felt insulted, he would only have to say that to Severus, and he had every right to redress.
No one in the faculty saw any reason to encourage the jailer in his decision. Firstly, they did not have the right and second, everyone could understand him.
"But we are still underage!"
"Mr. Malfoy, they usually talk so much about pureblood traditions. Just you should know that I will contact your parents in this case. and from what I've heard about you today, I'll probably send a letter to your father. "
Malfoy looked at his godfather as if he had just told him he had to run around in a ball gown for the rest of the school year. But then he caught himself again.
"So what? my father is a great duelist, I'm not worried about that. "
"Oh yes, maybe I should tell you that your father could not defeat me for a good ten years. Or what do you think, why he originally wanted me to give you private lessons? "
"You never did that."
The kid actually had the nerve to pout.
Severus waited a moment before the whispers in the room had calmed down again.
"No I did not. And the reason is simply that I can not stand you.
Now continue eating. "
Severus quietly sat down again while roaring laughter erupted throughout the hall.
Harry turned to his husband.
"Do you really want to duel with Mr. Malfoy? He has really enough problems at the moment. "
"Of course I do not want that. but I will still write a letter to him. The behavior of Draco is slowly hanging over my neck and I think Lucius should take care of the boy's upbringing himself. I really do not feel like it anymore. "
"And with the twins, do you really want to give them permission to punish their classmates? That could degenerate. "
"Do not worry, Minerva, I'll talk to them first, so they do not overdo it. In addition, I think that many have been alone in the threat. "
Minerva nodded in understanding.
The other teachers were a bit calmer.
Harry, on the other hand, had discovered something else again.
"Look, Flora seems to be great with her Squirrel already.
Um, Sev, why who? will it turn into something else at full moon? "
"It is already transformed. But I thought earlier, because I conjured fangs. "
"So it will not change?"
"Maybe, I'm not sure. In any case, the guy is also a part of Wolf. That's why they not only eat nuts but also meat. Do you see?"
Harry looked down at the Gryffindor table and watched as Flora handed her little darling a piece of roast that the animal gobbled.
"Sweet, I think you've just set a new trend. Maybe I'll get one like that. "
"Why does not that surprise me."
"Severus, you have not changed since you were at school."
Harry looked questioningly at his tutor. She answered immediately.
"You know, Harry, a hobby of Severus and Lily in their school days was conjuring animals from dead objects. However, not normal, it was always a mix of chimeras and Wolpertinger. The two were crazy about these guys. "
Harry looked at his husband in surprise. Remus and Sirius also opened their eyes. Hagrid chuckled happily.
"I remember when they were in second grade. At that time I had some Wolpertinger and they have just got offspring. Lily has been teasing me until I give each of them one. "
"True, I had to give mine to Lily during the holidays, because otherwise my father would have been hit."
"What has become of him?"
Severus looked into Harry's big eyes.
"When I started working as a spy, I thought it was too dangerous for the kid near me. Besides, the Slytherins knew that I raised him with Lily. That's why I gave it back to Hagrid. "
Harry's eyes became sad. the half-giant tried to console his favorite student.
"Do not worry, he was fine with me. And Severus, do you really think I do not know that you secretly visited your 'hopping egg'? "
"Hüpfi?"
Remus snorted loudly. And Sirius bounced beneath the table.
severus glared at Hagrid before returning to his meal.
After eating, Harry's HA coin started to vibrate. Quickly he brought it out and read.
, Page 15, all. Hermione. '
Immediately, Harry rummaged his new rattle and opened the page.
In the whole hall you could see students. who were like him.
Severus bent curiously to his husband and the other teachers got long necks.
Hermione: Hey guys, I think. we should put together a plan despite Prof. Snape's warning. how best to protect Harry.
Everyone looked at the brunette girl.
Harry, however, took out his screeching utensils.
Harry: Let me guess. You have already worked out a plan.
Hermione: Yes. in history.
Ron: Hermione and that of you.
Hermione: Oh, shut up.
harry: Before you get a haircut here in writing. Hermione, what's the plan?
Hermione: I've mapped your timetable on S 14. Now we can decide who has time to accompany you when. and Harry, you know that it has nothing to do with the fact that we do not trust you to take care of yourself.
Harry: After this morning I would never have got the idea.
Severus had watched the whole thing fascinated. Like everyone else at the teacher's desk.
now he picked up the quill himself, which he quickly stole from Harry, and wrote:
Snape: I think that's a very good idea. But where the hell did you get Harry's schedule, Ms. Granger?
Hermione: Quite simply, except for arithmetic, he has the same as me. and yes, I will always be near him. But after what we have experienced so far, I am no protection on my own.
Mimmy: I'll be there wherever I have the same hours as Harry. These are potions, magical creatures and history.
while Millicent wrote, Malfoy tried to sneak up on Slytherin HA to read along. Big mistake. Puck conjured a shield against the Malfoy heir, who landed with a loud cry on his aristocratic butt.
Again loud laughter followed.
"Hello, private correspondence," came from Mimmy.
Fred: Well continue in the text. Who takes over when?
Over the next ten minutes, dozens of suggestions were made, discarded and given new advice. But then they had a plan that really showed professionalism.
Luna: Hey, you know what? this is the first official mission of the HA.
Ginny: That's right, now that you say it.
Harry: Great, and I'm the 'target' of the mission.
George: Not quite, the goal is to protect you. Oh, Professor, what can we do with those who enchant our brother?
severus thought for a moment before reaching for the pen.
Snape: The same thing Molly allowed you to do with your siblings during the holidays.
Ron: Luckily I'm not the target again.
Ginny: I just wanted to say that. Oh, Harry, thanks for the warning. Professor McGonagall told us Dad could only be saved by you.
Harry looked at his teacher, then at the Gryffindor table, and then blushed. He quickly decided to change the subject, especially because some people found it so cute again.
Harry: Oh George, can you come to the next class?
George: It's not my 'service', but it does. Why?
Harry: Service, very funny. Quite simply, I think I can remove this nice decoration.
With that, he pointed visibly to his left arm. and everyone could see that he was immaculate.
Now the HA members skipped over. Of course, everyone wanted Harry to remove the scars from him. There it was again to intervene Severus.
Snape: Slow down now. Harry first has to see if his powers are enough to free one of you from the curse, so try Mr. Weasley first. If it works, he will take care of the others as well. However, only in my presence and on the infirmary. Is that clear
collective nodding was the answer.
That concluded the conference.
"Tell me, puppy, how did you get the idea to communicate with each other?"
Harry looked at Remus then guiltily at Severus.
The latter was already on alert again.
"Kitten?"
"Well, to be honest, I came up with the idea because of Riddle."
Now Dumbledore choked on his drop.
"Please," he croaked.
"The diary. When Ginny and I wrote it in, only the memory of Tom answered, but the principle is the same. we simply searched for such a charm at our meetings. And, lo and behold, found. To be precise, it was originally the idea of some former students, I believe in their school days, director. The spell should help cheat. We used it differently. "
"I like to repeat myself, I'm glad these kids are on our side."
The others nodded.
"And you have not even seen us fight."
With that, the boy grabbed his school bag and set off for class with Fawkes and Hedwig.
leaving a bunch of dizzy adults behind did not bother him at all.
Ron, Hermione, Luna, George and some more HAs were waiting in front of the big hall.
George was already jiggling nervously the whole time.
"Okay, before George goes crazy, we should look for an empty classroom."
Everyone agreed with Harry and so they set out to search.
Meanwhile, Luna pulled her brother aside.
"Tell me, brother, do you want to go over Mummy's notes with me this weekend, after Hogsmeade? I think I found another book that she can not publish anymore. "
"Definitely. Shall we do that in the group? "
"No, I would like to have you again for me alone."
"So without Fred?"
"Yes, he has to continue with George in his research anyway. Supposedly, they have some new ideas. Dimi is supposed to help them. I do not know why, but Fred said it will be a surprise for our next meeting. "
"Okay, then we'll just meet on Saturday in Severus and my apartment. He also has to make the potion that removes and preserves the magic powers. "
"Hey, you two, we're here. and Professor Flitwick is nowhere to be seen. So come. "
Harry could only grin at Georges eagerness. But he understood him too.
"Good, then give me your hand. However, I have no idea what I have to do, I just woke up today without the scar. so do not expect any miracles. "
"Hey, I'm glad you're even trying. Here."
Harry took his friend's arm and just brushed off the sentence. However, he already felt something. As he concentrated more, he realized that it had to be the poison of the spring.
without thinking much, he closed both hands around the wound.
"Wow," came Hermione.
Harry's hands emitted a white glow that completely encircled Georges wrist.
After a few moments, the whole thing was over. And indeed, the scar was gone.
"That's great! thanks, kid. I hope it was not too exhausting? "
"Not at all. Tell everyone to come to the infirmary after dinner today. Poppy wants to see me anyway, then we can do it all at once. "
George nodded and said goodbye to the others.
"I hope Professor Snape does not get a fit when he sees the whole pack. You read what he wrote. "
"Do not worry, Ron, we're already at Poppy's and he can stop for enough. and now it's time to start teaching. "
Immediately everyone sat down and pretended that nothing had happened.
Harry, however, was looking forward to tonight, when he could rid everyone of the unpleasant memories of Umbridge.
